ClassicPlates

Simple name plates theme for Tidy Plates using both elite and normal frame graphics from player and target frames for those who enjoy original graphics or simplicity.
Blends in well with most addons and it´s fully compatible with Tidy Plates Hub!!

Configuration

ClassicPlates won´t work if Tidy Plates is not installed. All settings must be changed on Tidy Pltes Hub.

Yup. It´s an option. Atm "Use default Blizzard Font" option does the trick as well which is exactly the same.

Since 7.0.3 i´ve noticed many non latin countries (Asia, Ru, and some lrtl) are prefering BlizzardPlates just because it uses default blizzard fonts packed on the game which gives them "language minor compatibility" instead of those ????.

This may also be the reason why some people also uses ClassicPlates with default Blizzard font and some other cause they just dislike Alice font (which is original font i inherited the addon with and will remain as it). This last case had made me wonder if i should add an alternative .lua with blizzards fonts.

Good thing is knowing that non latin people also wants/like some addons but are limited to them due to language itself or addon braking fonts. I personaly had not thought about it before.

Yup, has happened to me too on BlizzardPlates. Sometimes it will come back just by moving camera away from them and looking them back. Dunno if someone can confirm it happening on stock plates or if it's just a TP Core bug atm but i'll really dig into it when a TP release is launched unless a critical error or it's really needed.

However, there's another issue I came across, the final mobs in Invasions sometimes have their 'skull' icon disappear at times

But it doesn't seem to affect 'Boss" type targets, because it works fine for target dummies and actual raid bosses who are marked as bosses

I noticed this on low level alts too when I'm targeting the other faction who have high levels that show as ??
But if you hide/show nameplates via the WoW key ' V ' a few times it would fix itself to show the skull, though if you get too far and off-screen them it would bug out

It could be like the game not exactly knowing what level they are? Because Bosses are Bosses regardless, so the Skull icon remains. But ?? Elites and ?? targets are just... unknown?

Hello hello ^_^ Got this addon today and it's doing exactly what I hoped for it to do with ease! Though I have my share of issues with it including the Rare/Rare Elite dragon icons, but you've addressed that it can't be done at the moment because Blizzard :p

However I have another issue about interruptable casting bars, they border and the bar/icon itself are not overlapping, but they are stacked over eachother like the pic below.

It works fine for uninterruptable casting, but when there's ones you can interrupt it appears like that. And it only happens with the Classic plates version.
